Naetochukwu Chikwe, stage name Naeto C, is a Nigerian rapper, Afrobeat artist and record producer. He was born in Houston, Texas and is of Nigerian origin.
The Governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha appointed Naeto C, as his Special Assistant on Lagos Liaison. .

University education

After finishing his secondary education in Lagos, he moved to the United States for higher education both in SUNY Old Westbury and a year later, George Washington University. It was at this time that he met Uzikwendu and Ikechukwu, who was then an aspiring hip-hop artist out of Washington Heights, New York. The trio went on to form the World Famous Akademy, a brotherhood of musicians. They planned to grow into an independent record label but could not get their hands on the proper funds. Naeto C graduated in 2004 from the George Washington University with a BSc. in Biology, intending to go study further and become a medical doctor. After some deep self-searching he changed his mind and decided to pursue his dream and develop his talent as a musician.

In 2010 Naeto pursued an MSc in Energy Studies at the University of Dundee in Scotland.

It was reported in the Summer of 2013 by his mother that he was attending the University of Oxford in England studying “a course in Energy Economics” however there was no further elaboration on this course.

Music career

Storm Records, (a record company based in Lagos, Nigeria) had been trying to sign the World Famous Akademy for some time, and since Naeto had decided to pursue his career as a musician he agreed along with the rest of the WFA. But they did not return to Nigeria until early 2006, when Ikechukwu released his debut album, Son Of the Soil. That album laid the grounds for Naeto C and the WFA. Working as an in-house producer with his newly discovered production team “ET-Quake” (consisting of TY Mix and VC Perez), Naeto was able to display his production skills working with Storm artists like Sasha, Dare Art-Alade, GT the Guitarman, Disconnect, Saro-Wiwa and Nkiru. Within a year of working with the aforementioned artists, Naeto had successfully recorded over 60 songs including his most recent album material (a bulk of which he co-produced with ET-Quake).

A notable production achievement is the “I Believe” song Naeto wrote and co-produced with VC Perez (member of ET-Quake), which features himself, an up-and-coming R&B/Gospel artist, Sheun and Hugh Masekela from South Africa. Within the same year Naeto garnered a lot of experience performing, from Ikechukwu’s album launch to Chanel O awards to the I Believe Tour to Always promo tour with Sasha and many more gigs, in preparation for the phenomenal MTN Homecoming Concert, headlined by a popular friend, Nigerian pop sensation, D’banj.
“Naeto C” has recorded over 50 songs for his debut with production that transcends today’s hip hop sound MO HIT RECORD, May 2008 From the Fela inspired “Lagos City Hustla” the most articulate reflection of Hip-Hop/Afro-beat till date to the down-south-melody-stricken first single “Sitting on Top”, Naeto C has broken all boundaries and surpassed more limits than any up and coming artist, lyrically and production wise according to MO HIT RECORD.
His debut album You Know My “P” was released in May 2008. As of 2018, Naeto C’s net worth was estimated to be $7.5 million and he was ranked among the richest and most influential artists in Nigeria.

Billy Bush’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Billy Bush Net Worth and salary: Billy Bush is an American radio and television host who has a net worth of $13 million. Billy is probably best-known for his time hosting “Access Hollywood,” a syndicated entertainment-news show, which resulted in an infamous crude tape involving Donald Trump. Early Life: William (“Billy”) Hall Bush was born October 13, 1971 in Manhattan, New York, to Josephine and Jonathan Bush. His older brother is Jonathan S. Bush, and his uncle on his father’s side was George H.W. Bush. Bush attended middle school at St. Bernard’s School in Manhattan and high school at St. George’s School in Middletown, Rhode Island. Bush graduated from Colby College in 1994 with a Bachelor of Arts in international studies and government. In school, he was a four-year letterman and a two-time co-captain with the Colby Mules’ men’s lacrosse team. Career: Billy Bush could have pursued politics like his uncle George H. W. Bush or his cousin George W. Bush, but he instead opted for the world of entertainment. Bush began his career hosting the afternoon radio show on WLKZ-FM in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. He later moved to Washington D.C. where he hosted the midday show on WARW-FM. In 1997, he made a splash on his relatives’ turf as the host of the Washington, D.C. morning show Billy Bush and the Bush League, but it was his 2001 appearance on the entertainment-news program “Extra” that led to Bush’s small-screen career. In January 2003, he hosted a short-lived NBC prime-time version of “Let’s Make a Deal.” He also worked as a correspondent for WNBC-TV’s “Today in New York” morning show. Bush was a natural on camera and was soon invited to contribute segments to NBC’s “Today Show.” By the end of that year, he was working as an Access Hollywood correspondent and in 2004 he was promoted to full-fledged co-anchor. Bush made his mark by being unafraid to pose outrageous questions or poke fun at celebrities’ images. For example, he once served pizza to Victoria’s Secret models and asked Penélope Cruz if she could spell then-boyfriend Matthew McConaughey’s surname. In 2004, Bush worked as a reporter for NBC at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens and was the host for “Access Hollywood’s” courage of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, as well as the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. After emceeing numerous specials, including beauty pageants and award-show countdowns, Bush landed a gig as the co-host of the Broadway reality series “Grease: You’re the One That I Want” in 2007. The next year, Bush stood in for Meredith Viera for a week as the host of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” from April 21-25. In 2008, he went back to his radio roots and launched The Billy Bush (radio) Show, a nightly talk radio and entertainment interview show. The show aired from KBIG in Los Angeles and is syndicated by Westwood One. Bush and “Access Hollywood” executive producer Rob Silverstein served as the show’s executive producers. The show aired Monday through Friday and focused on the top entertainment stories in the news, featuring celebrity guests and listener calls. Meanwhile, he continued to expand his presence on TV and became a co-host on daytime’s “Access Hollywood Live” in 2010 alongside co-host Kit Hoover. The show, a sister show of “Access Hollywood,” featured the hosts chatting on popular topics and live celebrity interviews. During this time, Bush and Hoover traveled together to the UK to cover for NBC Prince William’s wedding to Kate Middleton. During the 2016 Summer Olympics, Bush was the first reporter to interview American Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte after the athlete claimed he was robbed at gunpoint in the middle of the night with three other competitors in Rio de Janeiro. Bush’s interviewing skills were put through the wringer when critics claimed Bush did not ask the right questions that would have demonstrated that Lochte had fabricated the story. Billy left “Access Hollywood” in 2016 after being named the co-host of the third hour of NBC’s “The Today Show.” In 2019, Telepictures announced they had hired Bush to be the host of “Extra,” replacing Mario Lopez at the start of the 26th season on September 9, 2019. Outside of hosting, Bush appeared as a grill sergeant in the 2010 film “Furry Vengeance” and had a small role in the 2014 Disney film “Big Hero 6.” Bush has also made guest appearances on several TV shows including “30 Rock” Donald Trump Controversy: In October 2016, a video surfaced that showed Billy Bush and Presidential candidate Donald Trump making extremely lewd comments about groping women, with Trump either unaware or unconcerned that his microphone was hot. The video was made on the NBC Studios lot over the course of the taping of an “Access Hollywood” episode in September 2005. Some of the comments were about Nancy O’Dell who was Billy’s Access Hollywood co-host at the time. Other comments were directed at a soap star. Bush is heard laughing about Trump’s failed efforts to seduce a married woman. When the news of the footage first broke, Bush was at JFK airport waiting to take off for Los Angeles. By the time he arrived at LAX, a horde of paparazzi had gathered at the airport and at his home in Los Angeles, where they remained for more than a week. In the fallout of the video, Billy was indefinitely suspended by The Today Show on October 9, 2016, a job he only had for three months and had tried to save immediately following the controversy. At the time his salary was $3 million. By October 17, 2016, he had been fired. He was In November 2017, the New York Times reported that Trump had privately told people, including a sitting senator, that the voice on the “Access Hollywood” tape was not his. Bush quickly published an op-ed in the paper on December 3, confirming that the voice in the tape did indeed belong to the president. Personal Life: Bush married Sydney Davis in April 1998. The couple has three daughters. They announced they were separating in September 2016. On July 15, 2018, they announced their divorce due to irreconcilable differences had been finalized.
